Hi,


Any news on this topic?


By the way:

What is the weight of one set of jacks?

Considering buying a couple of these when traveling to Florida...

Hey Dan - we were just working on this last week. The stands weigh 41 lbs. / pair boxed and packaged. The boxed pair measures 17x15x12. The box should survive shipping and luggage handling if you take them back on the plane. I'm pretty sure the extra bag charge is less than shipping across the pond. I can get them to your Florida destination pretty easily.

Well, I've realized that I didn't have many Targa or 944 customers so I sold two cars to buy one - a 996 GT3. For product research and promotion purposes only of course ;-) Problem is - along that line of reasoning I also need a C6, a BMW, an Audi, a 2013 Mustang, a Camaro. . . Do you think the wife will buy into that logic? Uh honey - can we talk for a minute? Let's see . . . oh and a 370Z, Evo, GTR . . .

I met TeamDrugMoney at NJMP on Monday/Tuesday at an advanced DE put on by PCA-NNJ. In fact, I gave him a ride in my RS, at about 90%, didn't want to kill him. Anyway, he had his car up on these jackthingy's and they are awesome. cool stuff.

Jackpoint stands are a really good implementation of a sound idea. Thanks for making them!

Thanks - they were recently granted patent protection by the USPTO - 4 years after filing the original provisional application .

Use them regularly, and don't ever want to part with them.
